| Thin film solar cells |
| | The project aims to investigate the crystallographic features of thin film polycrystalline solar cells using the
edge-to-edge matching model and advanced material characterisation techniques. This is an innovative and
interdisciplinary approach to the study of solar cells. It also targets the formulation of key criteria for highperformance
solar cells and at development of novel solar cells. The work will generate new scientific
knowledge in the areas of material science and physics and promote the applications of this type of clean
energy. Hence, the research has scientific and technological significance. It will also be beneficial to the
environment and climate change. |
